Yes you can, Kase. Give us a call, 800.635.5202, to order, or order the parts online. Sitting on a box or cooler most folks want the 8" Oar Mounts. If you were to want to use the Flip Seat Mount, you'll probably want the 10" Mounts. 60" is a pretty short frame so I assume you've calculated box dimensions and leg room. Give us a call to discuss any details.

you suggested i look at the compact outfitter for my Aire 156R, further suggesting the 72" width to get it out further on the tubes so it will not rub on the tubes where they rise. i think this is good, and you say sitting on cooler or dry box frees more space. I am good with this also, but i have a medium/large dry box, cooler, and two smaller/medium side boxes i would like to fit in for Middle Forks and extended trips. is another bay possible in the compact outfitter or two on each side of captain which is what i would prefer?

I'm really glad you wrote back. Your earlier question was posted off the 156D webpage - http://www.nrs.com/product/1165/aire-d-series-156d-self-bailing-rafts - and I didn't catch that you have a 156"R". Sorry for my error. This changes what I wrote earlier. You have a 93" flat area on the 156R, so you've got plenty of room for a third bay. I row one of our E-150 rafts with a similar length flat area, with a Compact Outfitter frame. I sit on my dry box and have put two large coolers in front. We can max out the side rail length for you, just call us to custom order.

NRS Compact Outfitter Raft Frame

Q:

I just purchased a raft and am looking for a frame. The exterior dimensions are 12'x6' and interior are 38"x 72" (rectangular section). Would this frame fit?

This article describes how to size a raft frame - http://www.nrs.com/frames/raftframes.asp - From your measurements it sounds like the tubes are 17"-18" in diameter and the center-to-center measurement is probably 54". You'll need to measure the flat area more precisely. This frame come stock at 78" long. It's designed to fit two coolers/dry boxes. That's quite a load for a 12' raft. Please give us more info on how you plan to use the raft and we'll be able to better give you advice about a frame - 800.635.5202 or service@nrs.com.

NRS Compact Outfitter Raft Frame

Q:

Hi I was wondering if the Compact Outfitter can be simplified to 70 L x 60 W to fit a 14' Tributary, and remove the foot bar to cut cost if possible?

Both of these rafts have a 73" long flat side-tube area. Our stock Outfitter Frame is 78" in length. We can shorten the frame for you. You'll need to determine if giving up that 5" of frame length works for you. Measure the boxes/coolers you'd put in the frame, look at your leg length, scratch your head and figure it out. Sometimes it can involve setting up things in your driveway for a run through. Sometimes doing away with the foot bar and bracing against the front box/cooler can be a solution. Give us a call to discuss options, 800.635.5202.

NRS Compact Outfitter Raft Frame

Q:

Few questions:

I have a 14 foot tributary aire what would be the best width? Thinking about buying the frame parts separately would a longer side rails be better?

Could I switch out to ad the deluxe foot bar. If so can it be attached to the cooler/drybox cross bar or does it need its own crossbar?

Kevin, I have no idea what dimensions a 1994 Hyside has. Current model would take a 72" wide x 93" long frame. Measure your boat, center-to-center of the side tubes and the length of the flat area. You want the frame that width or wider and we can extend the side rail length if you'd like. Call us, 800.635.5202, with your measurements and we'll dial it in for you.

Q:

Is the cooler mount that comes with this frame the standard or adjustable model; can it be exchanged for the adj. model? Also, would it be possible to switch 8" oar mounts for 10"; What would the up charge be?Thanks,
